- Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 System Boiler Issues
  
  By John Carroll · Posted 5 minutes ago
  
  Can you recall what the boiler modulation was with your 41.1C/24.7C flow/return temperatures and was it and those two temperatures reasonably steady? If not, have you any numbers (modulation + flow/return temperatures) when it was?.
- Moving from THTC to a single rate
  
  By ProDave · Posted 8 minutes ago
  
  The whole radio teleswitch replacement is a fiasco. And this is directly related to that. THTC in essence is just an normal E10 install with a switched off peak supply, but then with the addition of a second meter that is permanently on metering a heating supply. It was a creation to try and improve on the main drawbacks of the simple off peak tariffs. Used properly, in @Crofter case the A2A heating could have been connected to the heating circuit and got the cheap rate 24/7. None of the off peak supplies or THTC had remote meter reading, so could have been kept working by replacing the radio teleswitch with any other form of timer. Prior to the radio teleswitch system a spring reserve machanical Sangmo Weston time switch used to be used. I hear so many horror stories of trying to get E7 working on a smart meter that it would put me off trying and just go for a single rate tariff, even of you have to choose one of the off peak rates first to achieve that.

  I would get a smart meter, you may need to press them for a 4G version. Believe they run on Vodafone, so check if you actually have a signal. A least with a smart meter you can get a selection of tariffs, no smart meter you are just on standard rate or E7.
- Connecting motorised curtain rails to home automation system
  
  By dnb · Posted 27 minutes ago
  
  I did. And it contained a ittle more information. One of the two connections seems to be for controls, and the other might be inferred to be data. That does look like a eureka moment! I think there's enough info there to do something. I suspected it was Modbus based on some other comments on websites using similar looking motors. I don't need solar logging over Christmas so I will steal the parts and play. I am my own worst enemy though. 2 Elises, a TVR, a Jaguar and a Range Rover all needing work while I try to build a house... But agreed, you can't beat a V8!
